Db F# Db

Well I can't recall one time in my life,

Db Ab Db

I've felt as lonely as I do tonight.

I feel like I could lay down,

F# Db

And get up no more.

Its the damnedest feelin',

Ab Db

I never felt it before.

Db F# Db

Tonight I feel like an old violin.

Ab Db

Soon to be put away and never played again.

Don't ask me why I feel like this,

F# Db

Hell, I can't say.

F# Db Ab Db

I only wish this feeling would just go away.

F# Db

I guess its 'cause the truth is the hardest thing I ever faced,

F# Db Ab

'Cause you can't change the truth in the slightest way.

F#m11 Db

I tried....

So I asked myself...I said John,

F# Db F#

Where do you go from here?

Db Ab Db F#

Then like a damn fool I turned around and looked in the mirror,

Db F# Db

And there I saw an old violin.

F# Db Ab Db F#

Soon to be put away, and never played again.

Db

So one more time, just to be sure,

F# Db F#

I said John, where in the hell do you go from here?

Db Ab

And you know there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference,

Db

When I looked in the mirror.

F# Db

Thats when I knew.

F# C

That there I was seein' an old violin.

F# C Ab Db F#

Soon to be put away and never played again.

And just like that it hit me,

'Cause that old violin and I were just alike.

We'd give our all to music,

Ab Db Ab Db

And soon, we'll give our lives....
